The Cosmic Citizenship Alliance (CCA) creates a just, sustainable, connected and peaceful world - the full realization of human potential on Earth and throughout the Cosmos - via the manifestation of identity with the human species, Earth ecology and Cosmos.

We are a community that creates and curates educational and culture-shift media and events, providing the required context/identity to solve our Earthly social, environment and economic initiatives.

It is not for lack of solutions and best practices that our problems persist, but for the lack of identity with the species, ecology and cosmos that cooperation and change is left undone.

The CCA nurtures this identity, generating public support and political will to rise above petty atmospheric identities (race, creed, gender, class, sexuality, culture) and holistically solve our pressing global challenges.

The Problem

As philosopher and evolutionary psychologist, Ken Wilber asserts, only about 5% of the global population evolves beyond ethnocentric values, meaning most humans are either self-interested or identify with only a subset of our species, based on religion, sexuality, class, culture, family, or state.

The result of which is that we are fighting with each other in a perceived zero-sum game upon the surface of our planet. We have conflict between conservatives and liberals, Jews and Muslims, business and environmentalists, able-bodied and challenged, sovereigns, young and old, urban and rural dwellers, homosexuals and heterosexuals, men and women and between all other groups to compete for resources and ideological hegemony.

Historically, humans have emerged from this false dichotomy only when inspired and elevated to a higher sense of identity, e.g. when distinct sovereigns united to form the Allied forces to protect freedom and life against an existential threat, or when husband and wife unite as parents to create a cohesive, structured and safe environment for children to grow.

What is missing in the world today is this elevated context. Climate Change could have been this unification point, however it failed, as world leaders, crumpled under the pressures of corporate influences and bureaucracy (as evidenced by the failed Kyoto Protocol), and jumped from denial of existential demise to acceptance/mitigation, missing the chance for inspired reform.

As long as our narratives remain in the atmosphere, and fear of its demise, we will not unify or change our world.

The Solution

To solve our global problems (hunger, disease, poverty, injustice, war, pollution, species extinction), we need a cultural narrative that is physically greater than our atmosphere. We need a big story to unite the species, the social precursor of political will.

Simply, we must create a cosmic identity to root our collective empathy, our natural connection to our species and ecology. The Cosmic Citizenship Alliance roots humans in this identity, in their empathy and wonder.By elevating our perspective to that of the cosmos, we can view aright the planet, holistically, and set to work on optimizing it as a whole.

As many astronauts have experienced, when consciousness and perspective meet the curvature of the Earth, fragility of our atmospheric home and the expanse of space, we are transformed. This “Overview Effect”, as it is now called, is at once a spiritual experience, infusing us with awe, wonder and connection, AND an inspired call to action, to bring to bear the entirety of human potential to achieve peace, sustainability, diversity, love, art and connection on Earth.The CCA is dedicated to producing this effect at scale.
